Rudolph, ljrose, lilson Lierhart, Padres, Painter AX third tournament entered by our tennis team was the .Xrizona Gpen State. Here was offered stiff competition from El Paso and California contestants although for the honor of the ole schooln the team outranked their opponents and estab- lished more honors for themselves. .
